It was crackin' as fuck for Valentine's Day with my luvrboy. I made him a chicken nugget bouquet, which I got a lot of compliments on, on snap-chat (Thanks, guys, LOL), & I got him basketball gifts in honor of NBA All-Star weekend the following weekend, & he took me to the Bite Beauty Lip Lab, so I can create my own custom lipstick shades, & I even get to pick their finish, their scent, etc., & he took me to the city for some shopping & out for some dinner, too. 

​I mostly want to talk about the Bite Beauty Lip Lab, since I've been getting hella questions about it. They have two services. For the first one, you get to pick & or mix an already pre-made pigment / shade or more, & you get to pick from a range of 200 pigments / shades. You can either get one lipstick made for $55 or two for $80. For the second service, you actually get to create your own shade from scratch. You can't just get one because it's a whole package deal. It's $150 for two lipsticks & a lip kit that includes their agave lip mask, which I have, & it works really well. No matter what service you choose, you still get to pick what kind of finish you want your lipstick to have (glossy / sheer, matte creme, amuse bouche), & you still also get to pick what kind of scent you want it to have (cherry, mint, vanilla, citrus, mango, violet, coconut, wild berry, fresh citrus, lime), & you can even mix the scents up together. I made the prettiest shades of pinks, nudes, & greiges that don't have an extremely brown under-tone that make you look dead, & I made them with matte creme finishes, which I love because the Bite Beauty matte creme formula's so long-lasting & non-drying. Like, it never cracks on me, & I gave them all a mango & vanilla scent. I'm going in again to make a pretty, cool-toned periwinkle, a red shade, & a black shade. I'll actually be going there a whole lot ♥ I had so much fun, & I loved watching the lip techs mix up the pigments that I chose with essential oils, heat it up, pour it into a cooling metal bullet mold, & put it into a tube. Each lipstick took about half an hour each, & they save all of your formulas in their system, so if you ever wanna create the same shade ever again, you can. 

​Lastly, Happy Valentine's Day to my Cobain. You're the Jim to my Pam, & you're like tacos on a drunk night. Thanks for always calling me cars, taking me out shopping, having food delivered over to me, taking me out for drinks after a long day, etc. My heart's gush, & I love you more than the amount of times that your mom has asked me if I've eaten. 

Btw, I love everyone's Valentine's Day posts (but please refrain from typing paragraph-long captions). <3 <3 <3
